Approximating Pi -- Archimedes method

Students will be assigned different regular polygons to construct. They will then construct a circumscribed circle, measure diameter, circumference and perimeter. The measurements will be placed into a spreadsheet and the ratios of circumference/diameter and perimeter/diameter will be calculated.
